Bryn Mawr and the BSO!

3rd, 4th, and 5th grade girls were treated to a "Symphony Space-tacular" concert yesterday by the world-class Baltimore Symphony Orchestra!  While listening to "Mars" by Gustav Holst, we saw amazing images of Mars captured by the Curiosity Rover. A NASA astronaut narrated this musical journey around our own galaxy - and even those that are far, far away. You can imagine the excitement when the orchestra played the main Star Wars theme! 

It's great to listen again! Here are the selections from the program. All are available on Spotify or YouTube.
